"Look no further!!!"

This apartment is in the best location in Paris! It's everything you need from comfort to convenience. The apartment itself is modern with everything you would have at home from dishes and utensils to very comfortable bedding and enough room which is hard to find in a Paris rental! It overlooks the street which is the best! There are markets, bakeries and cafés all around, along with shops and boutiques. All within a few hundred feet! The owners are highly responsive, kind and really care that you have the most amazing trip in their place ever. You feel like part of a Parisian family staying here.

If you want to really experience being a Parisian and the culture and life of this beautiful place away from the constant tourism in the middle of the city, look no further! The area of this apt is safe, quiet, beautiful and within walking distance of everything you need including metro and RER train stations.

The price is worth everything and this is the only place I would ever want to rent in Paris!!! I highly recommend it and it won't disappoint!!!

"Great apartment in great location"

Left on 04/19/2014 for a stay in April 2014 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Apr 19, 2014Stayed Apr 2014

This is my third apartment rental in Paris over the years and it was overall the best one. The apartment is in a great location which is very central to both the Marais and Latin Quarter. All the appliances were modern and the modern bathroom with large shower and separate toilet were good features. Our only recommendatio would be to install better over-bench lighting in the kitchen vs using the small lamp that is there, since the existing strip lighting is inadequate. We also found the bed to be very uncomfortable and woke up with stiff limbs which we hae not experienced elsewhere on our travels.

This apartment is perfect for a first timer traveller in Paris like myself.
It is surrender by a supermarket, 2 train stations, beautiful stores and sightseeing places. On top of that, the owner Tito is kind, reasonable and professional. I enjoyed staying in this apartment.

"The perfect Paris pad!"

Left on 11/01/2013 for a stay in October 2013 | Global DrifterReviewed Nov 1, 2013Stayed Oct 2013

After reading all the reviews on this apartment I booked for a solo one week trip to Paris. All went perfect and the place became a Paris favorite for me and hope to return. Fifteen steps up to the front door was not a problem for me. This place is so central, convenient, and well run by its five owners. The information listed and photos were very accurate. But the ambience and position on this special island in the middle of busy Paris is almost impossible to describe.

Upon arriving we realised we could not have picked a better location to stay in Paris. 5 minutes walk from Notre Dame, 7 minutes to train station, 15 minutes to the Louvre. Perfect. Surrounded by delightful shops, restaurants, bakeries and a grocery store 10 meters from the door that sold amazing wines. The apartment was located on the first level of a cosy and vibrant street. All the comforts of home - including free wifi, washer/dryer, very comfortable bed, modern kitchen / bathroom and also double glazed french windows. We stayed for two weeks, and the owners provided excellent service, communication and also arranged airport transfers for us. A great holiday was had!

"Wonderful, sunny apartment in the best location in Paris!"

You can hear the bells of Notre Dame from this lovely apartment. It has every amenity you could want, and the owners, especially Isaac and Tito, are so helpful and nice. Our family, with kids age 3-10, had a wonderful stay here. The location on Isle de St. Louis is wonderful, you can walk to so much, and in the evenings there is no traffic on the island and you can just wander around and enjoy the street music and performers. The shops here are fun too, great crepes and glacé! Thank you for making our family feel at home in Paris! Only draw back here is that the noise from the stairway of the building is very loud when the other residents are dragging their trash cans up and down. Might also suggest more colorful, Parisian artwork for the walls, and a new larger rug for the living room. These are just minor things, we can't wait to come back!

Our party of four stayed for three nights at Isla Bonita and we will return. The apartment has been well designed to allow both couples privacy at night, and has great facilities.It was larger than expected and kitted out nicely allowing you to self cater. The surrounding community are great and we really felt a part of the area. The owners were fantastic and even after we mixed up returning the keys to the wrong address and called to let them know, the owners were more concerned that we had had a good stay. We will be back again.

"A little piece of Heaven in Pari."

Everyone knows how romantic and magical Paris can be however that experience is even better with the perfect accomadition. From making enquiries to booking and payments, Tito (one of the owners) handled everything very professiosally.Quick to respond to any request during the booking stage as well as during our stay. Tito has good grasp of English which is very convenient and not always the case when booking OS. The best way to describe the service provided is honourable and honest. My husband and I stayed for 10 days at Isla Bonita and found everything very comfortable and clean. The overall size of aparment for two people was more than sufficient. The longe - kitchen area could easily accomadite four or more people. I must say the Sofa lounge was huge for relaxing on and very comfortable( was not used for sleeping so I can not comment on the comfort). Bedroom size and closet space was fine.The queen bed had comfort galore, great matress and all linen crisp and near new. The apartment was so comfortable one could be almost tempted to stay in longer than you should. Even though we loved the apartment what we loved most was the location and ambience of Ile Saint Louis. This was our fourth trip to Paris and by far the best location we have stayed in. If you are considering Ile St Louis do not hesitate. The extra it may cost because of centrality far out ways everything else. The moment you leave the apartment and walk out the door you are in the hub of some of the best and most loved sights of Paris and guess what you get to see,feel,smell and experience it over and over again each time you leave and come home. Oh la la .I would go back to Isla Bonita in a heartbeat. The only negative I can say is when I read information about Isla Bonita over 12 months ago it stated that the apartment on the first floor had a lift. However it doesn't. The Building has a the lift but it does not go to Isla Bonita.I would suggest people with mobility problems have this clarified.

"I would give Isla Bonita 10 stars if I could!"

Left on 04/23/2013 for a stay in April 2013 | MaryReviewed Apr 23, 2013Stayed Apr 2013

Perfect! This is the only word I can use to describe our stay at Isla Bonita.

The pictures of the apartment do not do it justice. It has a very expansive, open feel despite its limited square footage. My friend and I had plenty of room to spread out and the pocket doors allowed us to both have private sleeping quarters at night (although I scored the best one - with the windows overlooking the street!).

The owners have thoughtfully furnished and outfitted the apartment with a traveller's every need in mind. A thorough "User's Guide" to the apartment documents how to operate all the technologies and appliances (including an awesome Bose sound system), and offers recommendations for activities and restaurants in the area and throughout the city. Beds are very comfortable with high-end linens. Kitchen has everything you need, including tea lights and matches.

The apartment is as centrally located as you can get, and whether you're walking or using the Metro, everything you might like to see is close by.

We immediately fell in love with Ile Saint Louis. Who wouldn't? Our mornings began with a trip down the stairs and 12 feet to the right for fresh croissants. Happy hour supplies were secured just as effortlessly with a cheese shop immediately below, a grocery market across the street, a wine store down the block and even a flower market to provide some local color. Need something fabulous to wear? Boutiques abound!

Don't miss aux anysetiers Du Roy Restaurant - the restaurant on the corner. We enjoyed it so much we ate there twice.

My only regret? We only met one of the owners, Isaac. He was so helpful and welcoming, and I wish I would have had the chance to thank each and every one of the owners in person. They are attentive and responsive, and have done an amazing job creating the perfect vacation apartment.

We had spend two nights at this apartment with our two young children at the beginning of December. We can recommend the place to anybody who likes to travel on their own, and prefers becoming "a local" for few days rather than staying in a hotel.

The location of the apartment is perfect, close to the main tourist attractions in Paris. It is few minutes from two different metro stations. There are numerous restaurants and cafes nearby. We loved the little bakery and cheese shop right below the apartment, and a little grocery store across the street which were all open even on Sunday and the grocery store until late at night. It was convenient to have fresh baguettes and croissants every morning.

The apartment is chic, modern and comfortable with all latest amenities and technical equipment. Wifi and the internet phone for free international calls worked perfectly. Beds were very good, we slept well and we did not hear any noise from outside even when there was a van or a scooter going on the street.

The owner Tito had been very friendly and helpful and available on the phone, ready to give advice.

We had a great time and I already recommended the place to our friends who plan to travel to Paris in spring.

Thank you for having provided a great apartment in such a beautiful location, close to everything; for having been flexible and considerate of our circumstances; for having been professional and business-like; for your good nature; for having made us feel welcome.

We loved the apartment! Such a fabulous location: easy walking distance to St Germain and le Marais, right behind the Notre Dame, with a greengrocer, bakery and cheese shop at your doorstep and some nice cafes, restaurants and shops nearby as well. We arrived in the morning (night train from Venice) but early check-in was no problem, we picked up the key from the hotel opposite and just freshened up a bit so we could go out again while the apartment was being cleaned. Communication with the owners was very good, the apartment was very well presented and appointed, it was clean, with very comfy beds, and all the mod cons you'll need for a short or long stay. The free phone calls were a bonus, the internet worked well, and ...well, just can't fault it. It was a bit smaller than we had expected, but great nonetheless and big enough for the 4 of us. Highly recommend! We looked around for days, so if you have too, save yourself the headache and just book it. A little on the pricey side, but worth it, trust me ;-)

I love this little apartment the area is sensational and while it is hard to get aware from all the tourists etc and actually feel like your in Paris then this is for you. The cheese shop is so good it is impossible to describe. Lots of little galleries and shops. The living area of apartment is huge for Paris standards the bedroom can be a bit stuffy in middle summer but very comfortable. The amenities all good and the owners also great and very easy to deal with. I will definitely be staying here again and recommending it to all my friends!!

"Best location in Paris - perfect apartment"

Left on 08/02/2012 for a stay in July 2012 | kwkriReviewed Aug 2, 2012Stayed Jul 2012

My daughter (age 10) and I loved this apartment.

The location is perfect! The Ile St Louis is very charming, and right in the heart of Paris. We took the Batobus (a slow water taxi) on the Seine more often than we used the metro! And of course did a lot of walking.

The apartment itself is well-equipped, and both the bed and the sofa bed were very comfortable. The internet service and a/c worked perfectly. We liked that there is a door to close off the livingroom/kitchen area (my daughter slept on the sofabed, so this allowed her to have privacy). The kitchen had everything we could need, and there is a cheese shop, bakery, and convenience store/small grocer all within steps of the front door. Yes, the stairwell usually smells like cheese - but that just adds to the atmosphere! We actually liked it. The best ice cream - Berthillon, and gelato - Amorino, are about a block away.

Tito was very kind, helpful, and communicative, and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay. He has a relationship with the hotel across the street, and we were able to store our luggage there before we could check in (we arrived early morning). They also helped us upon departure with a car to the airport.

"Excellent" isn't good enough to describe the service, location, and comfort - if there were more stars available, I would give more!! For an apartment with 2 separate sleeping rooms, it's actually a good value for the area. I gave a lower rating for cleanliness because there are some touches that could be improved (note that they may have been rushing to clean the apartment since we arrived early, and also note that I may be especially picky on this count because of my previous career working in hotels).

Overall it was an excellent experience, we would highly recommend it, and we would absolutely stay here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Isla Bonita. The apartment is right on Rue Saint-Louis. We watched the people go by each am, brought wonderful croissants and coffee to our lovely kitchen/breakfast area, and slept well from the first day in the well-appointed bedroom with great bed. The wi-fi always worked, the folks at the Hotel Saint-Louis were very helpful, and the owners of the apt. were responsive to minor problems. Would return in an instant. Only suggestion: it could use a woman's touch.

We loved finding a cheese shop just down stairs and a small market across the street. Access to all the great beauties of Paris began by stepping out the front door. The Seine and the Notre Dame only a short walk away.

Lovely apartment, with all you might need, on the main street of a charming isle. I chose the property after reading the glowing reviews on multiple websites, and couldn't agree more. Sam arrived to check on us shortly after arrival, and couldn't have been nicer. The group is available for issues by phone 24/7, but fortunately we didn't have any negatives. They or the concierge at the Hotel Ile St. Louis will arrange shuttle service to/from the airport, and market is steps away. Patisserie, market and boutique personnel were kind and friendly.
Wish I could have stayed longer; absolutely plan to return!

Our children, 8 and 11, loved the location on an island and the croissants from the more "local" boulangerie at the eastern end of the street. While you're aware of the cheese shop below in the stairwell, the cheeses were amazing!

We had a great stay at this apartment. It was perfectly situated on the Ile Saint Louis, minutes away from Notre Dame and metro station and RER. It is on the island's main street where all the specialty shops are located, chocolate store, little supermarket, cheese store, toy store, creperies, ice cream... The street is the old fashioned narrow alley. Though it could be crowded with Tourists from all over, it quiets down after dinner time.

The apartment itself is perfect size and provides everything you need. It was remodeled with modern decor. Spacious for a family and comfortably sleeps 3-4 people. The owners provided everything we needed before and after we arrived. I would stay there again.

Service was excellent. Tito was great about promptly answering all our questions by email prior to our arrival and after we checked-in he made sure we had everything we needed and knew how to use everything. Apartment is in a super location, very central to walking just about everywhere and a fun place to come home to at the end of the day. It has a well-stocked kitchen, nice-sized shower, comfy bed and a large open dining/living area. Two TVs, Bose sound system and free wifi are all pluses too. Busy street during the day makes for great people-watching opportunities but then really quiets down at night. Everything you might need is close by - small grocery store, wine shop, boulangerie for your baguettes, and a great cheese shop just downstairs (this can make the hallway a little aromatic at times!)
Best - Fabulous central location for exploring Paris on foot
Least - Early morning noise from garbage collection

It was a wonderful place to come back to every night after exhausting days exploring wonderful (if not freezing!) Paris. The apartment is close to absolutely averything, it's safe, well heated has all the modern appliances you will need for a short stay. There are many, many restaurants from 1 min walk to 5mins walk - all were excellent our fave was Mon ami (directly opposit the apartment) it was a shame we only went in on our last night. The owners make themselves available to answer any questions you have so i would suggest having all your queries ready so you can get the best out of your time here. I would certainly stay again when next I stay in Paris. Thanks Sam you were wonderful.

If you are looking for a lovely modern apartment, that is located in the very center of Paris -- this is it!

Just outside the front door is a cheese shop, bread bakery, grocery store, and all of the ice cream and crepe shops you could ever want. Down the block is a bridge with singers & musicians performing at all hours. Cross the bridge and Notre Dame is right there.

The apartment is clean and new. Full bedroom, pull out sleeper sofa in living room, and a complete kitchen.

Big windows offer a view of the street below filled with tourists (and very few cars).

The stay in this apartment was amazing. We couldn't have asked for anything more. My mother and I were in Paris for a week, and we definitely found the right place to stay. After what seemed like hours and hours of searching and comparing apartments online, we finally decided on Isla Bonita. It was bit of a leap of faith, as there weren't a ton of reviews about this place on the web. I am so glad we chose it. It is in an amazing location on the Ile St. Louis-just steps from Notre Dame and the Seine. With Metro and Batobus stops nearby, a grocery store across the street and a bakery and a cheese shop right beside it, the access to everything was perfect. Not to mention the world's best ice cream just a few doors down at Berthillion. Having a washer and dryer was very handy, and the kitchen was great. We ate most meals at the apartment because it was so relaxing and convenient. The place also offered privacy in that both the bedroom and the living room (which had a fold out sofa) had doors that could be closed off. The unit does have air conditioning, but we didn't need it during our stay. A wonderful bonus that we didn't even realize when reserving the apartment is that you can make free calls to the U.S. (as well as other countries) from the house phone! It was so nice to be able to connect with folks from home without having to worry about racking up charges. The WiFi was very reliable, too. No problems at all. Upon our arrival, Tito came to check on us and make sure we didn't have any questions. He was so friendly and helpful. To sum it up, after visiting other areas of Paris during the day, we were so happy to come back to our "home” on the island. It was the perfect apartment. Don't hesitate to stay here. You won't be disappointed.

"Little gem in the heart of Paris"

We had been in Paris before and this appartment is the best we ever stayed at. The location is perfect, St-Louis is in the heart of Paris but away from the noise and pollution. The appartment is great, high end appliances (Bose sound system,...), and very comfortable. Little details such as luxuary shampoo and conditionner in the bathroom (big bottles not tiny single use samples), butter in the fridge, etc make a big difference, and make you feel at home. In the street, the bakery is next door and the commodity store is opposite. You can taste the best ice-cream in Paris (and probably not just in Paris) at the creperies and cafes in the street and there are lots of boutiques around. Notre-Dame is 100m away, you can walk almost everywhere or catch the "bateau-bus" on the Seine and the metro is nearby. I really liked that the owner Tito replied immediately to my emails. Tito is very nice and very helpful. We all want to go back to Paris and stay at this appartment again. Read more

Owner's response:

Cathy !!
Thank you so much for this very nice review. Just reading it gives the urge to rent our apartment. It was really nice meeting you and your family. Too bad we didn't see each other before your departure. If you want to come back please let us know (in advance !!) and I promise we'll make our best to propose a good discount offer.
Take care and say bye to your husband and your 2 daughters (hope they enjoyed shopping).

"Isla Bonita Is Terrific!"

Left on 06/28/2011 for a stay in June 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Jun 28, 2011Stayed Jun 2011

Just returned from a 5 night stay at Isla Bonita, and we loved it.
The location is awesome. Quiet street with great restaurants and shops right outside. Within walking distance to many attractions (ie. Notre Dame, Louvre, St. Germain, etc), and 5 min walk to metro to take you to the rest.
The apartment is exactly like the photos, as everything is brand new. We were the second guests to stay since construction and were very impressed with the ammenities.
Correspondence prior to arrival was via email, and was timely and professional. When we arrived we were greeted by the property manager who stayed for almost an hour to show us everything in the apartment, and provided suggestions for our stay.
If you're looking for a clean, new apartment in the heart of Paris that has all the ammenities you could need, look no further!
